Who Is Your Lesser Known Hero

Who are some lesser-known female war heroes?

The Night WitchesThe story of Russia's airwomen during World War II is worthy of a Hollywood movie.Three female regiments were formed by Marina Raskova, recipient of the Hero of the Soviet Union (HSU, the Soviet equivalent of the U.S. Medal of Honor). One of those was the 46th Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment, staffed through the entire war completely with women pilots, navigators, mechanics and officers, commanded by Major Yevdokia Bershanskaya, herself awarded the awarded the HSU.The Germans called them, “the Night Witches.”Their bravery makes any current debates about the suitability of women in combat seem like a convocation of the flat earth society. These women settled that debate long ago. Soviet test pilot and HSU Mark Gallai commented on what it was like for the women bombers to fly their missions in the outdated biplanes to which they were assigned:"It means coming under fire from anti-aircraft weapons of every caliber...it means enemy night fighters, blinding searchlights and often bad weather, too; low cloud, fog, snow, ice, and gales that throw a light aircraft from one wingtip to the other...all this in a Po-2, which is small, slow and as easily set alight as a match."Yet, these women, averaging 5-15 flights a night(more in the winter, less in the summer), surviving on 2-4 hours of sleep a day for four years, managing to fly over 24,000 sorties, drop 23,000 tons of bombs, and account for 23 Hero of the Soviet Union awards.Along these same lines, another female pilot who deserves wider recognition (and a movie of her own) is Lydia Litvyak, “the White Lily of Stalingrad.” She is the first woman to shoot down an enemy aircraft, holds the record for most kills by a female fighter pilot, and is one of only two female fighter aces in history. She was shot down and killed at the age of 21 during the Battle of Kursk.

What are some lesser known red flags for colleges/universities?Assuming you mean from the perspective of a student in the process of finding a college/university to attend……First is to check its financial well-being. Just do a quick web search to see if anything comes up, then look at the school’s endowment (for private schools), and compare endowments to similar schools.Second is to look at turnover for the president and other top leaders. Also check news stories. A college president should usually be sticking around for 5 or 10 years, or even more.Third is shutting down programs, closing facilities, etc.
